A minister was fired by the British prime minister, Liz Truss, on Friday following claims of “grossly inappropriate behaviour.”
According to a statement from Downing Street, Trade Policy Secretary Connor Burns has been ordered by Liz Truss to “leave government immediately.”
According to the statement, “The Prime Minister took immediate action after learning of this claim and is clear that all ministers maintain high standards of behaviour, as the public would expect.”
Burns was momentarily kicked out of the Conservative Party’s parliamentary faction. When Boris Johnson served as the British Foreign Secretary, Conor Burns served as his assistant and private secretary in parliament.
Whips, the office in charge of party discipline in the British parliament, claimed to have investigated “allegations of improper behaviour earlier this week.”
We treat all of these accusations seriously.
The Prime Minister has made it plain that the greatest values in public life must be upheld, the speaker continued.
Burns was quoted by the British media as saying he will assist the investigation and look forward to being cleared.
The announcement comes at the end of a hectic week for the Conservatives that included a turbulent annual conference where Terrace and Kwasi Quarting, the finance minister for her government, defended their widely panned economic strategy, upsetting financial markets and infuriating Britons who are experiencing a rising cost of living crisis.
After Boris Johnson was forced to resign due to a wave of corruption, nepotism, and violations of limitations to contain the spread of the Covid-19 epidemic, Terrace took over as prime minister of Great Britain in September.
One Conservative MP resigned in May after confessing to watching porn in the Commons, and another was detained on rape and sexual assault suspicions.
Liz Terrace’s administration is still functioning as a result of the first dismissal.
